“They agreed on a few steps parents could take now: Set limits, especially around bedtime. Don’t give a young teenager a smartphone right away. Start with a smartwatch or a phone without internet.

Une révolution serait à l’œuvre dans le monde des sciences sociales. Le Big Data, qui, nous dit-on, va bouleverser l’économie, tiraille aussi les universitaires. Une revue baptisée Big Data and Society a été lancée en 2013. Les « media labs », où le numérique est disséqué, fleurissent dans les universités. Le Collège de France a organisé récemment un colloque sur le sujet. Bref, le débat se cristallise.Deux attitudes semblent dominer.
